The Hampsten clan seems to be on a similar wave as Riv. http://hampsten.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-for-2011.html Steve Hampsten makes some classic racing bikes, but some of his new stuff for this year is definitely fat tire friendly. I'm pretty excited about the Sterrato which is built for Paul M Racers. The Crema looks great too. I'm really town between a Roadeo and a Crema/ Sterrato. High class problem indeed.

True True. I bet Jack Browns have never turned more quickly. Kinda makes me want to go on a Cinghiale tour. Advice please: The main difference I see between my choices above is curved Riv fork vs straight Hampsten fork. They both look sharp IMO. Do you think they feel any different? I understand the arguments about a curve having a slight damping effect, but do you think it makes that much of a difference?

I was thinking about riding the Quickbeam to Austin on Sunday to catch the last day of the show. Is it worth it? $22 to get in - anything Rivy at the show?

I think it's worth a visit. Some very Rivy bikes here. Lots of racks and lights and fenders and other signs of sensible biking. Leather and steel and canvas abound. Trendy stuff too: belt drives and internally geared hubs and stainless tubing and bamboo! Some stuff was gaudy and silly: steel painted to look like bamboo, mother of pearl inlays, giant crystal headbadges, wacky look-at-me paint jobs, etc. Sign of the apocalypse: I tried the electronic shift system from Shimano (Di2) and...it's pretty cool. I'm not stripping out my barcons and ponying up 4 grand, but I was impressed with how solid and responsive the system feels.

Well, as a complete and utter bike dork I would say yes, it's worth the $22 although I actually only paid $19.33 since I purchased entry for three days...
